Case Dismissed!

Yes! After a long wait charges against the club have been dismissed! We can now breathe a huge sigh of relief, though if we believed what Mel Morris had consistently stated from the start, we would have been confident of the outcome!

Fans from rival clubs are up in arms and making a lot of false claims in their attacks on the panel and its decision.

There has been much sniping and jealousy from fans of other clubs ever since when Frank Lampard was boss! Ashley Cole signing attracted some snipes!

Wayne Rooney signing really got others rattled and various claims being made that we were avoiding his wages being included in the accounts because he is registered as a coach! Wrong! coaches wages are included!

Next we get 32 Red are paying him and it's third party ownership which is against the rules! Wrong again! He's a club asset! 32 Red do sponsor the club very generously, but what Derby County do with the money is their business.

Now we have the warriors of the keyboard and smartphones whinging about us getting off with it and Sheffield Wednesday not!

Sheffield Wednesday weren't charged with regard to the sale of their ground, it was because they included it in the wrong financial year!

If full capacity crowds aren't allowed to return sooner rather than later, and that looks very doubtful at the moment, a lot of clubs will be struggling to make ends meet! The transfer window will be much quieter and maybe teams will have to start playing more home grown talent! Thankfully Derby have a glut of talented youngsters coming through!
